The One Piece logo dominates the top of the page with the chapter title below it: CHAPTER 1026: TENNŌZAN: TURNING POINT. The main illustration shows Nami kneeling in a clothing boutique called HAUTE COUTURE NAOMI, smiling as she measures a cheerful young lion mink child standing on a box. The child wears a shirt reading I AM LI ON with a sun-like emblem. A large lion man with a curly mane sits nearby watching, while a small bear-like mink in a matching I AM LI ON shirt stands beside the child. T-shirts with the same emblem hang on display racks. A caption at the bottom reads: COVER REQUEST BY EBI: "NAMI AND LEO MAKING CUTE FASHIONABLE CLOTHES FOR A YOUNG LION MINK." The artist credit is EIICHIRO ODA.

In the Flower Capital of Wano, a massive fiery dragon-like silhouette soars above the distant mountains as the Fire Festival blazes on. The streets below are packed with celebrating citizens under striped lanterns. A young girl in a spotted kimono, Otama, laughs and waves a fan while being lifted by an unseen person. Nearby, a woman in a kimono cries out in panic, "FORGIVE ME, MASTER!!" A stern samurai with a topknot demands, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING, OTAMAI!" while another figure asks, "ARE YOU HAVING FUNI" Otama replies happily, "YEAH!!" as music and cheers fill the festive night.

The scene shifts to a tense rooftop exchange. A cloaked figure pleads, "PLEASE LET OTAMA BE SAFE..." while another warns, "OUT OF THE QUESTION!! GET BACK HERE!!" and a third insists, "DON'T WORRY, WE'LL PROTECT HER!" and "I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING!" Far below, a massive explosion erupts in the sky. A report arrives: "I HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE MYSTERIOUS SECOND DRAGON!!" The sky rumbles as a voice notes, "THERE IS NO TELLING NOW THAT SHE'S OUT AT SEA..." Then comes the shocking sight: "AN UNBELIEVABLE SIGHT IS PLAYING OUT IN THE SKIES ABOVE!!" followed by "...ON THE ROOF, INJURED!!" and the urgent message "MASTER YAMATO IS ALONE..."

Two enormous dragons clash violently in the stormy sky, one dark and one pale, with the sound effect "ビドン!!" The narration declares, "THE TWO DRAGONS ARE SQUARING OFF!!" A voice identifies, "KAIDO-SAMA, THE AZURE SEIRYU..." Below, a bandaged man and a blonde woman react with shock. Luffy, riding the pink dragon, glares fiercely as the text states, "...IS BEING CHALLENGED BY THE PINK DRAGON... RIDDEN BY 'STRAW HAT' LUFFY!!" The bandaged man shouts, "I WOULD ACTUALLY BE USEFUL TO THE OTHERS!!" while the woman stares in disbelief. Another observer growls, "BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT IT'S HOSTILE!!" concluding that Yamato must have been keeping Kaido busy and that "THE DRAGON'S IDENTITY IS STILL UNKNOWN..."
The dragon-form Momonosuke faces Kaido's massive dragon head as an ally shouts, "ALL RIGHT! COUNTER IT WITH YOUR OWN BREATH!" Another warns, "HE'S ABOUT TO USE HIS FIRE BREATH!" Momonosuke panics, "WHAAATI! I CAN'T DO THAT!!" Kaido unleashes a devastating point-blank blast. "BLAST BREATH!!!" Momonosuke screams in pain, "GYAAAH!" Below, Luffy sits on the smaller dragon's head and calls out, "HEY, MOMO!!" Momonosuke, battered and smoking, replies weakly, "R-REMEM-BER... I'M IN NO POSITION TO FIGHT RIGHT NOW!"

Luffy stretches his arm back and yells, "GOMU GOMU NO... ELEPHANT..." Kaido's dragon head lunges forward with a massive bite. Someone cries, "WHATI! LUFFY, WAIT!! I CAN'T!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!" Luffy's attack lands with explosive force, "GUN!!" The impact shatters stone and sends debris flying. Luffy shouts desperately, "BITE KAIDO!!" while Momonosuke's dragon form struggles nearby. Luffy repeats in panic, "NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY..."

In the ruined castle, retainers shout, "TOKI-SAMA, PLEASE FLEE!" "IT'S KAIDO!!" "WE'RE SURROUNDED!!" A figure screams, "I CAN'T!!" Kaido's dragon coils through the air as a massive glare erupts. Someone yells, "GLARE!!" A cloaked figure stands amid flames and rubble, arms raised, while a desperate cry rings out, "MOTHEE EEEER!!" Kaido's jaws snap shut on the smaller dragon in a brutal strike, "ARRRGH!!"

Kaido's jaws clamp down hard, "CHOMP!" The dragon-form Momonosuke is crushed as Kaido roars, "WAS A FOOL OF A LORD!! YOUR FATHER..." Momonosuke wails, "WAAAA AAHH!!" Yamato appears in the chaos, shouting, "YOU RUINED WANO!! IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU... FATHER AND MOTHER...!!! THEY WOULD BOTH BE...!!!" Kaido glares and demands, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BRATI!" Momonosuke cries out, "YAMATO!I MOMO-NOSUKE-KUN--"

Momonosuke's massive dragon form slams into Kaido with explosive force, sending debris flying as a voice shouts, "NICE GOING, MOMO!!" Impact lines and a large "DON!!" mark the collision. In close-up, Momonosuke's dragon head roars while Kaido's dragon counters with a fierce bite, "UGH!!" The battle rages above the crumbling Onigashima castle. Narration boxes read: "DRAGONS CALL FORTH STORM CLOUDS AFTER ALL..." and "WE'VE SEEN THE LAST OF THE MOON TONIGHT!!" Below, the floating island's structures crack and tilt as a sign labels "TREASURE REPOSITORY DOME INTERIOR." Momonosuke pants, "PANT... PANT..." while the ground rumbles with "ゴゴゴゴゴ..." and "CRUMBLE" as rocks break away.

Nekomamushi's sulong form towers over the battlefield near a grand building, declaring, "I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE STANDING NOW!!" and "IF I HAD TAKEN ANOTHER HIT..." while a cloaked figure watches. He adds, "MINE'S JUST BETTER-PERORIN♪" as Carrot in sulong form fights nearby, taunting, "DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THE MOON, YOU FAT CAT! IT'S NOT THAT YOUR LUCK IS BAD." Smaller panels show Luffy and others reacting. Carrot cries out, "HE'S NO LONGER IN HIS SULONG FORM! MASTER NEKOMA-MUSHI!" Below, Kin'emon and allies charge forward shouting "MOMO!!" and "MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMAI!" as chaos erupts with "HUUHI!" and impact effects.

Kaido's dragon form looms as a voice yells, "YOU JUST BIT ONE OF THE FOUR EMPERORS!!" Luffy stands defiant in the center, shouting, "DOES ANYTHING IN THE WORLD STILL SEEM SCARY TO YOUI!" and "AFTER DOING THAT..." Yamato watches nearby. Allies rally: "STOP ONIGASHIMA IN ITS TRACKS!!" "RIGHT!!" "THEN GO!! YOU CAN FLY!!" Luffy's group debates, "THERE'S NO WAY..." "YEAH, BUT THAT DRAGON COULDN'T HAVE BEEN..." "DID HE JUST SAY MOMOI" Yamato gasps, "NO!" and "N-" as Momonosuke's dragon appears in the distance.

Momonosuke's dragon carries a figure while Luffy's allies cheer wildly. Voices shout, "LUFFYTARO-SAAAN!!" "MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMAAAA!!" Luffy declares from a close-up, "I WILL DEFINITELY..." and "...BEAT KAIDO!!" The crowd roars with swords raised. Kaido snarls, "YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE A CHANCE... AGAINST MEI!" Luffy retorts, "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!! AS LONG AS I'M STILL BREATHING." Allies call out, "MOMO-KUN!!" "BIG BRO!!" "MAAA AAMAMA MAMA!!" "YOU FREAKIN' BETTER!" "WHERE THE HELL HAS HE BEENI!" and "LUFFYTARO-SAAAN!!" as the battle intensifies.

A massive explosion erupts in the sky with a thunderous "バン!!" as debris scatters. The Beast Pirate in the polka-dot hat glares furiously and shouts, "YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT LUCKI" while another voice snaps, "NOT ANOTHER WORD!!" A victim screams "OWAA AAAAA!!" as they are blasted away. In a colossal panel, a horned figure unleashes a devastating strike marked "BOOM!!" that tears through the clouds. The warrior declares, "ODEN ONE-SWORD STYLE..." The heavens themselves split apart with a blinding flash, prompting shocked onlookers to cry, "THEY'VE SPLIT....!!" and "THE HEAVENS..."

A massive feline beast-man lunges with "GRINNING CAT CLAW!!" as the victim howls "AARGH!!" The attacker follows up with "DECAPITATING DOG FLÈCHE!!" eliciting another pained "UGH!!" Below, a figure mutters "HUFF... HUFF..." while another voice protests, "NO, WAIT, THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE....!!" and "YOU'RE KIDDING... EVEN JACK WAS..." A small panel reveals someone peeking from behind a door with the question "WHO'S THAT PEEKING FROM BEHIND THE DOOR...I" The page ends with the "ONE PIECE CH.1026 /END" credit.
